US and Brazil Taxes Revisited by sjpetzold
I鈥檓 sorry to bring this up again, but with tax season upon us, wise 暗网禁区s鈥� thoughts turn to the complexities of dual taxes. My wife and I are both US citizens filing jointly in the US. She is also a Brazil citizen while I have a ...
@abthree Thx for all you do. I actually put off my move until the end of year so I'm not a tax resident this year. I have VA disability (which isn't taxed and have no plans to bring into the countries banks) but what I'm confused on is capital ... Read More
Renewal of retirement visa /background check by Kurterino
Unfortunately, my retirement visa will expire at the end of September this year (2025). Btw, completely unrelated to my question, it was valid for two years, even though on the application documents , it said that it was only gonna be valid for one ...
@abthree Thanks a lot, that鈥檚 very helpful. I have come to like Brazil a lot and even bought a used scooter, so it might be worthwhile to give it a try. It鈥檚 a lot easier to be able to just travel back and forth without counting the ... Read More

Unfortunately my Swiss background check isn鈥檛 clean anymore (It鈥檚 about narcotics) , but will be clean again in 5 years at most (AFAIK). Does anybody have any experience with this? My question at this point is if I should give it a try ... Read More

N煤mero do T铆tulo de eleitor with a retirement visa by Kurterino
HelloA few weeks ago, I posted a question because I had problems activating my Claro chip that I had just bought. At the time, I thought it was a problem with my postal number, the CEP, but actually, it was about my CPF. Even though the error ...
> Can you not ignore it and click your way thru on the site ?If you want to update your CPF, they ask for this number in order to complete the process, meaning you have to send it (with a few other things) in an e-mail, together with the form ID ... Read More

Claro activation problems (wrong CEP?) by Kurterino
I recently got myself a Claro SIM card (I already have a TIM , but there are quite a few places where I don鈥檛 get a signal, whereas Claro works well there. And with the eSIM capability of my phone, I can use them both without having to change ...
My humble guess is the CEP that is associated with your CPF registration is the one they want to see OR they want the CEP which is associated with your address which is on file with the PF. When I opened my VIVO account (also had a Claro account ... Read More

Shineray scooters
So I鈥檓 looking through the ads on OLX and Facebook to find myself a used motorcycle or a scooter (a little one). Surprisingly I found out that the Honda models are quite expensive, especially compared to what they cost when new (like a Honda ... Read More
Experiences with Starlink (internet)? by Kurterino
I live in an area where there鈥檚 no wired connection, the only way to have internet is via GSM (4G). Unfortunately the network isn鈥檛 very strong, so speed varies from Totally Fine to Almost Nothing鈥�. In comes Starlink: if I鈥檓 ...
@Pablo888 Prepaid SIM cards work fine. You can easily switch carriers, so you can see which carrier works best for you. I've had Oi, TIM, Claro and Vivo. Vivo has the best coverage around Ilh茅us. -@alan27A couple of years ago i ... Read More
Taxes in Brazil by TonyFaithOverFear
Hello, I have dual citizenship (Brazilian/American). I have plans to retire next year in California and move to Brazil. My retirement/pension paycheck will be deposited in an American bank and I would transfer it to my bank account in Brazil every ...
@abthree Sorry to revive such an old thread, but I'm trying to do some research on this topic. Given that Brazilian tax brackets are so much lower than US ones can you elaborate a bit on how your Brazilian taxes are 40% of your US ones? My ... Read More

@Kurterino I value an expensive functioning service over a cheaper less reliable one. In Canada I pay approx R$400 for a one terabyte download fiber optic line with unlimited data. That is my baseline expense, fully realising that this level of ... Read More
